This happens when I run the jamp.exe. Any ideas?

Try deleting your jampconfig.cfg file. What graphic card do you have?

[Botdra Lar'les]

Deleted, still won't work.

I have the ATI Radeon 9600/9550/X1050 Series according to SystemRequirementsLab.

[Tricorder]

I was afraid that's what you're going to say. Look:

Problem starting Jedi Academy

Same graphic card, same problem. Same solution too?

[Botdra Lar'les]

Could be very possible, haven't played since I installed some driver updates.

The only problem is I don't know how to uninstall the driver updates!

Since this seems to be a problem with more than one person, I'm interested.

Do compatibility modes help at all?

[Botdra Lar'les]

...Do what modes work? I have no clue what those are.

You have to uninstall drivers completely. You can do that from Device Manager. Right click on My Computer, choose Properties, go to Hardware tab and click on Device Manager. Look under Display Adapters. I suggest you to have replacement drivers ready, so you can install them right after you reboot your computer.

About the Compatibility modes. Right click on jamp.exe, choose Properties, go to Compatibility tab, set compatibility mode for Windows 98 and click Ok. I bet it won't help, but do it anyway to make Nabby here happy.

Actually, I was thinking about the 256 colors or 640x480 resolution compatibility options (as a test).

[Botdra Lar'les]

Compatability mode doesn't work. Sorry.

Alright, but I have no clue how to install them after I uninstall and reboot the computer.
